"You need to check out a great new LA band called Wires in the Walls. I got my hands on their latest EP over the weekend and couldn’t stop hitting repeat. Solid tunes such as 'The Cold War' and 'Gasoline' convey a spectrum of upbeat and catchy choruses, as well as sensitive, passionate lyrics. I'll be seeing them live as soon as possible. I recommend you do the same." -Midday DJ Julie Slater, 100.3 The Sound Los Angeles, formerly Middays 92.3 Krock NYC following Howard Stern "They didn't invent it, but Wires in the Walls are masters of the 'smart alternative' genre. These songs are eminently listenable, and grow on you over time. Finely crafted melodies are evocative of the Fleet Foxes, yet completely original. These are sweet songs, expertly performed, with pleasing instrumentation and superb production. 'Big Bad Love' stands out. Beginning as a folky love song, it morphs into a country-fied rocking declaration of adoration. See this band if you can. Wires in the Walls are not just another 'flavor of the week' band and will have staying power." - Chris Wheatley, General Manager, 92 WICB mtvU 2008 Woodie Award Best College Radio Station of the Year 2010 Princeton Review's No. 1 Ranked College Radio Station in Country "‘Wires in the Walls' self-titled EP is a refreshing amalgamation of musical style, effortlessly blending influences of alt-country/indie rock. The band's diverse, multi-dimensional sound engages listeners of all backgrounds and tastes. Strong, reflective lyrics, interwoven with well-crafted melodies, create a profound and lasting impression. This freshman release should not be missed." - Marc Moreau, 2007 Grammy Award Winner ("Love is My Religion," Ziggy Marley) "(Wires in the Walls') hook laden, alternative rock songs occasionally have an alternative country twinge (similar to Wilco), but they also have incredible melodies that stick with you long after the last note dies. The arrangements are intricate and lush, causing the music to ebb and flow like a drawn out train traversing a mountain pass. It is high-quality material, mostly because Sroka has writing chops galore. Rehearsed to perfection, this group is a solid unit. All the players are not only on the same page; they're all at the same level. Bryan King's drum work is... outstanding, as he adds more than rhythms to the songs with Nick Tracz complimenting him nicely. Filling out the mix, Sroka finesses his vocals just right to create a subltle yet emotional connection to the music." - Bernard Baur, Club Music Editor Live Review - Music Connection, Vol. 33, August 2009 “Wires in the Walls really has it together. What a great band. Their singer has a fantastic voice; unique and emotive, with a great range, too. If I lived in LA, you would definitely see me at quite a few of their shows. All of their songs are really good, though Big Bad Love stands out as one of my faves… very unexpected how the country feel comes in midway. It’s nice to hear the sound of a band actually working together. I love it.” -John Lefler Lead Guitarist of Dashboard Confessional "Wires in the Walls' music is an original take on the coolest aspects of WILCO, Counting Crows, and Death Cab for Cutie. Their self-titled EP grabs you from the opening Wurlitzer riff and the infectious melodies will have you singing along after you put your iPod down. It's rare to see such a great combination of top-notch songwriting, solid instrumentation, and superb production, especially on a band's first release." - Travis Allen Childress - Founder and CEO of MyRecordLabel.com and one of Music Connection's "50 Innovators, Iconoclasts, Groundbreakers & Guiding lights of 2008" "Flowing with a charming indie aesthetic, while holding down a bold country swagger, Wires in the Walls is yet another gifted band arising from the City of Angels. They’re not just indie and they’re not just rock n’ roll —Wires in the Walls are sweet listening to your ears that you just can’t deny." - www.grimygoods.com
